At Mary Immaculate College, there are so many services, clubs and unions - I don't think that there are any offices left for professors. Studying is not of main concern here anyway - what is important is happiness, so it came across on the orientation days. We met representatives of- the student union ("we'll make you as happy as possible")
- the chaplaincy ("we want you to be happy")
- the student service ("our goal is to make you as happy as possible")
- the computer service ("be happy")
- the counselling service ("to make you happier)
- the learner support unit ("for a happy exam time)
- the placement office ("for a very, very happy time abroad")
- the medical service...
YEEESSS, for God's sake, I am HAPPY. Now - satisfied?!
Don't think I gave you the complete list. There is even a Marshmallow and Cake Society. Well, I'm sure that would make me happy. They had planned one and a half hours for these presentations. After two and a half hours and a talk on "students and health" (after which we all received a super-organic, wormy apple and a cookbook) we were released at last - tired and exhausted, but bearing in our hearts what we had been told in the morning:
The headmaster of MIC would never ask any student: "How are you getting on with your studies?"
What would he say instead? Well, you should know by now!
"Are you happy?" of course.
